asv @Judges:16:1 @And Samson went to Gaza , and saw there a harlot , and went in unto her . asv @Judges:16:2 @And it was told the Gazites , saying , Samson is come hither . And they compassed him in , and laid wait for him all night in the gate of the city , and were quiet all the night , saying , Let be till morning light , then we will kill him . asv @Judges:16:3 @And Samson lay till midnight , and arose at midnight , and laid hold of the doors of the gate of the city , and the two posts , and plucked them up , bar and all , and put them upon his shoulders , and carried them up to the top of the mountain that is before Hebron . asv @Judges:16:4 @And it came to pass afterward , that he loved a woman in the valley of Sorek , whose name was Delilah . asv @Judges:16:5 @And the lords of the Philistines came up unto her , and said unto her , Entice him , and see wherein his great strength lieth , and by what means we may prevail against him , that we may bind him to afflict him : and we will give thee every one of us eleven hundred pieces of silver . asv @Judges:16:6 @And Delilah said to Samson , Tell me , I pray thee , wherein thy great strength lieth , and wherewith thou mightest be bound to afflict thee . asv @Judges:16:7 @And Samson said unto her , If they bind me with seven green withes that were never dried , then shall I become weak , and be as another man . asv @Judges:16:8 @Then the lords of the Philistines brought up to her seven green withes which had not been dried , and she bound him with them . asv @Judges:16:9 @Now she had liers-in-wait abiding in the inner chamber . And she said unto him , The Philistines are upon thee , Samson . And he brake the withes , as a string of tow is broken when it toucheth the fire . So his strength was not known . asv @Judges:16:10 @And Delilah said unto Samson , Behold , thou hast mocked me , and told me lies : now tell me , I pray thee , wherewith thou mightest be bound . asv @Judges:16:11 @And he said unto her , If they only bind me with new ropes wherewith no work hath been done , then shall I become weak , and be as another man . asv @Judges:16:12 @So Delilah took new ropes , and bound him therewith , and said unto him , The Philistines are upon thee , Samson . And the liers-in-wait were abiding in the inner chamber . And he brake them off his arms like a thread . asv @Judges:16:13 @And Delilah said unto Samson , Hitherto thou hast mocked me , and told me lies : tell me wherewith thou mightest be bound . And he said unto her , If thou weavest the seven locks of my head with the web . asv @Judges:16:14 @And she fastened it with the pin , and said unto him , The Philistines are upon thee , Samson . And he awaked out of his sleep , and plucked away the pin of the beam , and the web . asv @Judges:16:15 @And she said unto him , How canst thou say , I love thee , when thy heart is not with me ? thou hast mocked me these three times , and hast not told me wherein thy great strength lieth . asv @Judges:16:16 @And it came to pass , when she pressed him daily with her words , and urged him , that his soul was vexed unto death . asv @Judges:16:17 @And he told her all his heart , and said unto her , There hath not come a razor upon my head ; for I have been a Nazirite unto God from my mother 's womb : if I be shaven , then my strength will go from me , and I shall become weak , and be like any other man . asv @Judges:16:18 @And when Delilah saw that he had told her all his heart , she sent and called for the lords of the Philistines , saying , Come up this once , for he hath told me all his heart . Then the lords of the Philistines came up unto her , and brought the money in their hand . asv @Judges:16:19 @And she made him sleep upon her knees ; and she called for a man , and shaved off the seven locks of his head ; and she began to afflict him , and his strength went from him . asv @Judges:16:20 @And she said , The Philistines are upon thee , Samson . And he awoke out of his sleep , and said , I will go out as at other times , and shake myself free . But he knew not that Jehovah was departed from him . asv @Judges:16:21 @And the Philistines laid hold on him , and put out his eyes ; and they brought him down to Gaza , and bound him with fetters of brass ; and he did grind in the prison-house . asv @Judges:16:22 @Howbeit the hair of his head began to grow again after he was shaven .
